What happens at a sexual health clinic

Visiting a sexual health clinic is confidential. The staff will explain everything, including any tests you may need.

You can ask for a female or male nurse or doctor. You can also have a friend, family member or other member of staff in the room with you during tests or examinations.

Information:

Staff at a sexual health clinic will not tell anyone what you discuss without your permission.

This includes your GP. Find out more about visiting a sexual health clinic.

 

  • If staff think you or someone else is at risk of harm, they may need to tell other healthcare services.

But they will not do this without talking to you first.
